In 2023, Sasb Standards reported carbon emissions of approximately 214,000,000 kg CO2e, exclusively from Scope 1 emissions. This data is cascaded from the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, reflecting the organisation's commitment to transparency in its environmental impact. Currently, there are no specified reduction targets or climate pledges documented for Sasb Standards. The absence of Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for future reporting and improvement. As a current subsidiary of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, Sasb Standards aligns with industry standards for sustainability reporting, although specific initiatives or commitments to reduce emissions have not been outlined. Overall, while Sasb Standards has disclosed significant Scope 1 emissions, further details on reduction strategies and broader climate commitments remain unspecified.
